-====== Discs ====== 
  
-These mock data are designed to mimic the Milky Way disc - either locally or globally. Key questions include, for the local problem:  
- 
-(1) What quality of data are required to determine the local dark matter density? (2) Do multiple populations (e.g. split by abundance/age) help? (3) Is 1D modelling sufficient?  
- 
-And for the global problem: 
- 
-(1) Can global models simultaneously recover the disc phase space distribution function and the gravitational potential? (2) What are the key degeneracies in the problem and how can these be broken?  
- 
-If posting new tests, please try to approximately follow the template set out for the "spherical collisionless tests" [[:sphtri|here]].

-===== Local models/mocks ===== 
- 
-These mock data give positions and velocities for stars in and around the Solar neighbourhood, relevant for recovering the local Galactic potential and e.g. dark matter content. 
- 
-==== Simple 1D data sampled from a distribution function of vertical energy ==== 
- 
-These first data assume a 1D population with precisely zero "tilt" term. The velocities are sampled from a 1D distribution function assuming <latex>$f \equiv f(E_z)$</latex> as in [[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1989MNRAS.239..571K|Kuijken & Gilmore 1989]]. This should be an easy test, but highlights: 
- 
-  * The importance of systematic errors due to over-restrictive assumptions about the potential; 
-  * The role of sampling - i.e. how many stars are needed for what type of error;  
-  * The importance of having different populations split by chemistry (and the errors introduced if we get this wrong);  
-  * The importance of sampling high or low as compared to the disc plane; and  
-  * The role of uncertainties in the baryonic mass model 
- 
-We use a disc model:  
- 
-<latex>  
-$\nu(z) = \exp(-z/z_0)$ 
-</latex> 
- 
-and vertical force law:  
- 
-<latex> 
-$K_z = -\left[\frac{K z}{\sqrt{z^2 + D^2}} + 2Fz\right]$ 
-</latex>  
- 
-The vertical velocity dispersion (assuming no tilt) can be derived from the Jeans equations:  
- 
-<latex> 
-$\sigma_z^2(z) = \frac{1}{\nu(z)} \int_0^z \nu(z') K_z(z') dz' + \frac{C}{\nu(z)}$ 
-</latex> 
- 
-where <latex>$C$</latex> is a constant that sets the velocity dispersion at <latex>$z = 0$</latex>. However, we do not use this. Instead, we use the distribution function: 
- 
-<latex> 
-$f(E_z) = -\frac{1}{\pi}\int_{E_z}^{\infty} \frac{\mathcal{F}(\Phi) d\Phi}{\sqrt{2(\Phi - E_z)}}$ 
-</latex> 
- 
-where: 
- 
-<latex>$\mathcal{F} = \frac{1}{z_0}\frac{\nu}{K_z}$</latex> 
- 
-This is made more numerically tractable by the trigonometric substitution: 
- 
-<latex>$\Phi = E_z \sec^2\theta$</latex> 
- 
-which gives: 
- 
-<latex> 
-$f(E_z) = \frac{-\sqrt{2 E_z}}{\pi} \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \sec^2\theta \mathcal{F}(\theta,E_z) d\theta$ 
-</latex> 
- 
-We set up several models by drawing stars from the above distribution function. These are detailed in the following table. For completeness I list also the normalisation constant for the Jeans equation solution <latex>$C$</latex>, though this is not required when using the full distribution function method.

-where <latex>n_*</latex> is the number of stars, and <latex>\Delta z_{\rm bin}</latex> is the bin size (for the binned data).  
- 
-The data files are as follows:  
-  * simplenu_sigz_bin.dat :: Binned data: <latex>z [{\rm kpc}], \nu(z), \nu_{\rm err}(z), \sigma_z(z) [{\rm km/s}], \sigma_{z,{\rm err}}(z)</latex>   
-  * simplenu_sigz.dat :: Smooth model 
-  * simplenu_sigz_raw.dat :: Raw particle data in <latex>[z,v_z]</latex> 
-  * simple.png :: Plots of the above. 
- 
-The system of units is kpc, Msun, km/s. Converting the vertical force to a surface density (<latex>{\rm M}_\odot\,{\rm kpc}^{-2}</latex>) via the Poisson equation (assuming no rotation curve contribution), we have:  
- 
-<latex> 
-\Sigma_z(z) = \frac{|K_z|}{2\pi G_1}  
-</latex> 
- 
-where: 
- 
-<latex>G_1 = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 1.989\times 10^{30} / 3.086\times 10^{19}</latex>. In the above system of units, the "baryonic" contribution <latex>\Sigma_b = K = 55.53 {\rm M}_\odot\,{\rm pc}^{-2}</latex>.

-===== Global models with known background potential ===== 
- 
-N-body disc models simulated with GCD+ ([[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2003MNRAS.340..908K|Kawata & Gibson 2003]]). These are the target disc models used in [[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013MNRAS.432.3062H|Hunt, Kawata & Martel (2013)]]. The fixed [[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1997ApJ...490..493N|Navarro, Frenk & White (1997)]] dark matter halo profile is applied: 
- 
-<latex>\rho _{dm}=\frac{3H_{0}^{2}}{8\pi G}\frac{\Omega _{0}-\Omega_b}{\Omega_0}\frac{\delta_{c}}{cx(1+cx)^{2}}</latex>\\ 
-where:\\ 
-<latex> c=r_{200}/r_s </latex>,\\ 
-<latex> x=r/r_{200},</latex>\\ 
-<latex>r_{200}=1.63\times 10^{-2}\left(\frac{M_{200}}{h^{-1}M_{\odot}}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} h^{-1},</latex>\\ 
-and:\\ 
-<latex>\delta_c = \frac{200}{3} \frac{c^3}{\left[\ln(1+c) - c/(1+c)\right]}.</latex>\\ 
- 
-We assume <latex>\Omega_0=0.266=1-\Omega_{\Lambda}</latex>, <latex>\Omega_{\rm b}=0.044</latex>, and <latex>H_0=71{\rm kms^{-1}Mpc^{-1}}</latex>. 
-A live N-body disc is initially set up and simulated for several Gyr. The data file provides the position, velocity and mass of the disc particles. If you have any question, please email [[<d.kawata@ucl.ac.uk>|d.kawata (at) ucl (dot) ac (dot) uk]].

-==== Challenge suggested by Jason Hunt ==== 
- 
-  * First simple challenge can be recovering the surface density profile, mean rotation velocity profile and velocity dispersion profile as a function of radius from a partial data (e.g. using the particle data within 10 kpc from (x,y,z)=(-8,0,0) kpc. 
-  * Recovering the surface density profile, mean rotation velocity profile and velocity dispersion profile as a function of radius from the error added data. 
-=== Hunt === 
- 
-To start things off, we show the results of our Particle-by-particle M2M algorithm (PRIMAL) when applied to the barred galaxy target above with and without error. We start from a smooth disc with a different scale length, and recover the target while using the 10 kpc sphere of observation around the sun as suggested above. 
- 
-Without error, it is easy to recover the radial profiles for the density, radial and vertical velocity dispersions, and the mean rotational velocity form the partial data. See Fig. 1, the black solid line is the target, taken from the complete data, the blue dotted line is our starting point, and the red dashed line is our final model. As you can see this produces a very good fit (as shown in [[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013MNRAS.432.3062H|Hunt, Kawata & Martel (2013)]]). 
- 
-With error however things become more difficult. As a work in progress we are modifying PRIMAL to work with data containing error, and we show our best attempt so far in Fig. 2. We are happy with the density profile but we are continuing to make improvements to the algorithm to allow us to better recover the velocity profiles.

-===== Analytic global models with a known distribution function and background potentials  ===== 
- 
-N-body representations of an analytical distribution function of the form used by [[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2012MNRAS.419.2251M|McMillan and Binney (2012)]], evaluated in two different potentials. The distribution function represents a single "pseudo-isothermal" disc in each potential. The potentials are Milky Way-like and constructed from several spheroidal and disc like components (as in [[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2011MNRAS.414.2446M|McMillan 2011]]).  
- 
-The particles are tracers (zero mass), and the data files provide their exact positions and velocities (x,y,z,vx,vy,vz) in units of kpc and kpc/Myr (1 kpc/Myr = 977.775 km/s). Questions or comments to [[<p.mcmillan1@physics.ox.ac.uk>|p.mcmillan1 (at) physics (dot) ox (dot) ac (dot) uk]].

- 
- 
-===== Analytic models with known df - Red Clump test  ===== 
- 
-Again, N-body representations in the same two potentials - the distribution function is slightly more complicated. Data represent red clump stars (all having intrinsic G=1, V-I=1), with data including uncertainties as per those expected from Gaia, so if G>16, the radial velocity is unknown __**(N.B. unknown radial velocities are quoted as 0 with uncertainty given as -1)**__

-===== Full N-body models (with local cuts) ===== 
- 
-These are full collisionless N-body simulations. The first two were published and analysed in [[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2011MNRAS.416.2318G]] and [[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2012MNRAS.425.1445G]]. The latter two include a perturbing satellite at low and high inclination and will be published shortly in Read et al. 2013 in prep.

-===== N-body models from Elena D'Onghia ===== 
- 
-Snapshots provided by Elena D'Onghia from her simulations in [[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013ApJ...766...34D]], which have 100 million disk particles. Ask Jo Bovy to get these from a USB stick. The simulation and data consists of snapshots at 0 Myr (initial conditions), 250 Myr, and 1 Gyr (snap_000.hdf5, snap_005.hdf5, snap_020.hdf5). 
- 
-The galaxy model consists of an Hernquist  halo with total mass of 
-9.5x10^11 Msun computed at a radius of 160 kpc. The halo is 
-simulated with a rigid potential. The concentration of the halo 
-is adopted to be c=9 for an Hernquist profile which is approximately like 
-c=12 for a NFW profile. The spin parameter of the halo is lambda=0.033. 
-This galaxy contains a live  stellar disk and a little live bulge that made 
-more stable the disk: 
- 
-Disk: 
- 
-The disk fraction is: Mdisk/Mhalo=0.04 
-The scale length is 2.5 kpc. 
-We introduced perturbers corotating with the stellar disk as softened 
-particles (the total number of perturbers is 1000 and each has a mass of 
-9.5x10^5 Msun so that the total mass of the perturbers  is ~ 9.5x10^8 Msun 
-which is ~2.5% of the total disk mass). In the run we fixed the softening 
-of the perturbes with  size of giant a molecular cloud:  ~100 pc. 
-In the initial setup the vertical thickness of the disk is setup z0=0.1 of 
-the scale length. 
-Number of particles in the disk= 100 millions. 
-In gadget snapshot stellar disk  particles are type 2. 
- 
-Bulge: 
- 
-The bulge fraction is: 0.01. 
-The size is 0.1 of the disk scale length. 
-Number of particles in the bulge is : 10 millions. 
-In gadget snapshot bulge particles are type 3. 
- 
-The particles that mimic the perturbers are 1000 and in gadget are type 4. 
- 
-Q parameter is initially set up to be larger than 1.3 at all radii.

-Conclusion: a not too wrong value 35-42 [km/s/kpc] is found around 4-5 kpc, with a systematic  
-lower value for the data with noise in both the moment of inertia and the Fourier methods.  
-However, the inner (0-2 kpc) values are very noisy, and no obvious plateau in R is found.

-These are ideas and initial results of the challenges discussed in the Surrey workshop week. However, please feel free to post your mock data, grab the data and do your own challenge. Please also feel free to discuss off-line and build up collaborations.  
- 
-==== Aim: ==== 
- 
- Sharing the mock data. 
- 
- Comparison among different dynamical modelling methods using various mock data. 
- 
-

-==== Challenge ==== 
- 
-deriving 3D force fields from the mock data: measure force in 3D, F$_R$, F$_{\phi}$, F$_z$ as a function of R, $\phi$, z grid points 
- 
-  
-==== Grid ==== 
- 
- Grid in Galactic R, $\phi$, z 
- 
- R: 3-20 kpc in radius 
-   
- |z|: 0-4 kpc 
-   
- $\phi$: +-45 deg (for Paper 1 below, no $\phi$ grid) 
-   
- whoever got the first results can decide bin size.
